Former Cub Brett Anderson is on the mound for the Brewers tonight, and as a lefty, I’m not particularly certain the Cubs are going to bounce out of their offensive funk:
Through the first 24 games of the season, #Cubs had a 95 wRC+ v. LHP (19th in MLB), which was seen as a problem.
Through the next 22 games (including last night), #Cubs have had a 43 wRC+ v. LHP … worst in MLB.
It's, uh, gotten worse. And Brett Anderson (L) starts tonight.

Especially not with Anthony Rizzo out of the lineup, Javy Baez’s struggles, Happ’s generally weaker splits against LHP, etc.. Let’s hope something significant changes and fast. Go Cubs.
